Our two organic flower, herb, and vegetable gardens are lovingly cultivated by our gardeners and volunteers. Packed with visual beauty, delicious greens and other goodies that grow in harmony with herbs and healing plants for both our Kitchen and Spa to use in preparing guest meals, herbal baths, and special oils for our guests. Be sure to book a Garden & Horticulture Tour or other educational walk with one of our gardeners during your free time!
